Evangelical book catalogs promote books such as Planet Earth: The Final Chapter, The Great Escape, and the Left Behind series. Bumper stickers warn us that the vehicle’s occupants may disappear at any moment. It is clear that there is a preoccupation with the idea of a secret rapture. Perhaps this has become more pronounced recently due to the expectation of a new millennium and the fears regarding potential Y2K problems. Perhaps psychologically people are especially receptive to the idea of an imminent, secret rapture at the present time. Additionally, many Christians are not aware that any other position relative to the second coming of Jesus Christ exists. Even in Reformed circles there are numerous people reading these books. Many of these people are unaware that this viewpoint conflicts with Scripture and Reformed Theology.

Same old, same old, Cronos. You’ve got nothing. No Scripture. No evidence. Just a few excerpts from wacko websites which you don’t even bother to attribute.
Stop praying to the stock of a tree. Stop looking to Mary as your mother redemptrix. Stop giving a pass to pederast priests who fancy themselves to be “another Christ.”
Put that behind you and then we can discuss theology. Until then, Christians waste their time describing the wind to a blind man wrapped up in a red velvet overcoat and ermine mufflers.
Insofar as the Japanese might be associated with Shinto, Shinto practices the same.
BTW, every nation under Christ is likely to commit the very same errors the Hebrew nation performed. The US definitely succumbs to the same temptation when we reject prayer through faith in Christ in the military, and now search for ways to condone homosexuality.
Dear Cronos.

Plagarism is not a fruit of Holy Spirit.
I think you’ve been notified of that, before.
THanks — I didn’t know it was your own personal photobucket account. It was just so apt to describe the Calvinists. RM, please delete that post.
As an aside, dear sister in Christ, your posts remind me the TRUTH has no agenda, and is not dependent upon which sex delvers it. The first to know Our Lord was risen were the women so blessed. Thank you, Sister in Christ, for enriching us with your revelations in the spirit. Your edifications regale my flagging soul.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
NEITHER Jew nor Greek; Male nor Female in Christ.
Any male refusing to be taught by Holy Spirit’s wisdom through Angel-Gal is at least at risk of being an idiot.
It often appears
that the focus and goal is
obstreporous prickliness . . . if not glee at poking sleeping dogs with sharp sticks . . . and then ranting haughtily about the resulting growls.
It is almost as though . . . The purported non-existent Deity has offended Kosta’s sensibilities and shall now
‘have to suffer’ extensive insults, assaults, anger, and particularly the Deity’s followers shall have to suffer convoluted harrassments and indignant intellectual games of exceedingly empty merit and foundation.
The self appointed god of one has decreed it.
Poking sleeping dogs with sharp sticks and then wailing and protesting about the resulting growls
is a rather perverse way to provoke the universe into demonstrating that one has some grovelingly feeble worth in their existence.
It tends to be a rather feeble, whimpering, gasp of a feeble sense of worth—yet it’s far better than none.
Only The God of The Bible can extend true value to individuals.
Even Jean Paul Satre recognized that for the finite to have meaning, it must have a meaningful and true connection to THE INFINITE. Jean Paul never found that connection that we know of. He sure facilitated trasing others’ connections as well.
That Christ died for each of us is the INFINITE VALUE. That we accept His propitiary Death and Hope in our like-mannered RESURRECTION LIFE IN HIM is the least we can offer in return.
Some refuse to so offer and prefer to wail and rant about how awful the universe is that it wasn’t created in THEIR image.
Well put.
At best . . . such dogs
can only fantasize gumming the cars to death if they catch them.
Thousands of witnesses “saw” the sun “dancing” and “falling” towards earth in Fatima in 1917. It never happened.
Extensive research indicates that a large brilliantly lit UFO in a somewhat typical demonstration . . . blotted out the sun and made the movements described.
Then the Vatican system took over and easily manipulated MOST of the peasants and even elevated persons and their perspectives to the Vatican’s will on the matter—and has been doing so ever since.
Deceptions from the enemy’s camp are not to be misconstrued as successfully trashing the truths of God and Scripture, however.
LOL.
If someone has already fallen off a logical cliff, how much further can they step back?
Same old, same old Dr. E, like all followers of Calvin, no scripture, just their own flawed interpretation.

I have told you how you can go to photobucket.com and set up your own account and load the gifs you wish from their library into your new account and then post them honorably.
